Yipee kay aye model maker!
A friend of mine works in Hollywood as a special effects, model/prop maker. I knew he did some work on the upcoming Live Free or Die Hard movie, so I sent him an email asking what parts his crew were involved in. He replied...
Um, yeah. Check out the trailer. It's friggin sweet.
I'm in the wrong business. I don't get to blow anything up : (
Ah well. Yipee kay aye model maker!
A lot of our stuff is in the trailer: the car jumping into a helicopter, the plane sequence, the freeway chase, the semi truck explosions, the elevator sequence, and more. It's looking pretty nice.

And there was I lamenting the death of miniature effects in the movies.

I watched a "behind the scenes" making of that 1982 intro, and I agree, there really needs to be more use of minatures in Hollywood. I know the craze is digital now, but I'm a fan of the old school model making. I love digital effects the same as the next person, but it's so used that it's becoming sort of "white noise" if you know what I mean.
